Adaptive active contour model integrating global and local image fitting energy
A new active contour model based on global and local image information is proposed for image segmentation. The energy functional for the proposed model consists of three terms
i.e.
the global intensity fitting term
the local intensity fitting term
and the adaptive parameter term. The global intensity fitting term incorporates global image information and the local intensity fitting term uses local contextual information. The weighting factor between the global and local intensity fitting term is adaptive by the image content.By incorporating the local and global image information into the proposed model
the images can be efficiently segmented. In addition
convex optimization is added to the new model to get the global minima. Finally
the Split-Bregman method can effectively improve the segmentation speed. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm is robust to the choice of initialization values
can get the more accurate segmentation result
and especially is about 1.5 to 2 times faster than the C-V (Chan & Vese) model.
